Good find and even better capture, Ed. It was great meeting you at Joe Perry's farm on Cloudland Road. The colors in VT are really starting to come in - too bad I have to leave now.Excellent Jack - I love the feel!

I understand that Mr. Perry, after he bought the iconic Sleepy Hollow farm, trashed the scene by installing an electronic security fence in front of the farmhouse. True?Good find and even better capture, Ed. It was great meeting you at Joe Perry's farm on Cloudland Road. The colors in VT are really starting to come in - too bad I have to leave now.

No problem. Better, but this shot was lesson for me to be adaptable. I hiked about 30 minutes to the spot with the expectation that the clouds would be spectacular when hit by the sun. Never happened and yet I left the clouds as the major point of interest in the shot.Taken a liberty. Hope it’s OK with the OP.
Love the last one.Couple more fall colors, 2 in B&W and 2 in color,
I am still having a hard time getting good color off my Leaf Aptus II 7 back using C1. Hmmm. I must be doing something wrong.

Wow!! Learning? I can't wait to see your shots when you know what you're doing! 300mm isn't very far away.Hello guys! Learning to photograph wildlife using medium format.

That is an excellent idea, I will give it a try. I actually took the image with my SK150 (mistakenly stated it was the 72L) so there was a fair amount of fog between my location and the foreground rocks. The selective local contrast could add a little more depth to the image which would offset the compression of the long lens.A thought:
it would be interesting to see how this would look with the string of rocks in the foreground *clarity-d* a bit. This would give more separation through diffusion, as is already happening with the middle-distance island copse against the far distant background.
Would leave the water alone, as it has a nice softness. Agree with Shelby—not everything has to have a chocolate box look.
Thank you Shelby.I really have to fight the tendency to try and maximize contrast and the histogram in my images... yet looking at some of these recent images (Ed, Jack, Steven), I get a sense that the if there was no "black black" or "white white" in the scene, you guys don't try to introduce it in your files in post
....
My comment is one of congratulatory tone, not one of comparison. Great work gentlemen!
Congrats,
Shelby
Ah, that explains it! If wide, the lens would have been quite close to the rocks.That is an excellent idea, I will give it a try. I actually took the image with my SK150 (mistakenly stated it was the 72L) so there was a fair amount of fog between my location and the foreground rocks.
That’s the result I would like to see.The selective local contrast could add a little more depth to the image which would offset the compression of the long lens.
